The History of Scentsy

Colette Gunnell and Kara Egen had the dreams which started Scentsy. An episode of the Oprah program featuring moms who ran their own businesses inspired Kara, After her sister-in-law Colette mentioned that a neighbor of hers broke up old candles and melted them in potpourri burner, Kara was inspired to invent her own wickless candles.

The two women started selling their wares at fairs and trade shows, learning as they went along. The warmer and tester set caught the eye of Orville Thompson, another entrepreneur at the Salt Lake City fair. He purchased it and sent it on home to his wife. When he returned home to see the warm inviting image created by his wife and sister having fun with these products, he decided to buy the company from Kara and Colette. They stayed on as consultants. Along with his wife, Orville started Scentsy, a Party Plan company. From there, the company continued to grow to become the business that it is today.
